  Re: WAY off topic
 
(...) EverCrack, as I understand some call it? I hear that game is tres addictive. One addiction at a time for me, thanks. (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: WAY off topic
 
(...) At certain times in my life I have been an avid Trekkie (450 books, 50+ posters, etc...), watched anime (with subtitles) and tried my hand at writing SF. Now, tho, it's just LEGO and on-line RPG's (EQ!!!!) Of course, my character in EQ is (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  WAY off topic
 
I ran across this geekspace diagram (URL) (from Penny Arcade) and in sending it to a friend, said "the fact that LEGO isn't on there means LEGO is not geeky" followed by a smiley. He of course demurred and sent THIS link: (URL) is old but it's just (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  Re: Cute little DIY computer
 
(...) I think Pandora is ugly (Shuttle SV24 is more R2D2 cute) and I'd rather make my own case first (heh heh...) Anyway, good luck finding it in the USA. You can order the SV24 from outpost.com with or without a CPU. (see chipmerchant.com for that, (...) (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Cute little DIY computer
 
(...) Did you see the other machine at that site, the "Pandora's box"??? What did you think of IT? I'm in the market for a new desktop at the mo too so this was interesting, thanks for the ref! (23 years ago, 28-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Cute little DIY computer
 
I'm buying a Shuttle SV24 for LDRAW and Linux. It's a toaster-sized PC you can put together for under $600: (URL) low hassle, lots of ports for exotic input/output devices, and it's small enough to hide. Disadvantages: bad for games, not (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: 3D stereograms? programs?
 
(...) Not for Windows (I've got several fun, free ones for Mac 8?P )... Here's two that I found after a Google: ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi...rds200.zip (URL) one found on Tucows: (URL) fun! Matt (23 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  3D stereograms? programs?
 
Hey y'all, Does anyone know of any cheap (read: free :-) stereogram generators? Dots or red/blue will do... Has anyone used L3P's stereogram-generator feature? Got any stereograms to show off? Cheers, - jsproat (23 years ago, 27-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Slashdot (was:Bad News for Brickbay!?)
 
(...) There's so many categories to choose from, it's hard to know which one is right. (...) Ah, of course. I guess I should have misspelled every 3rd word and made it sound like incoherent clueless rambling. (23 years ago, 26-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Slashdot (was:Bad News for Brickbay!?)
 
(...) Yah, I'm guessing that most of the "editors" don't read what you're submitting, they just reject it. That's probably why it takes tons of submissions to get a story up, you have to get enough in that it slips past the rejectors. (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Slashdot (was:Bad News for Brickbay!?)
 
I think it depends more on how the title is phrased, which category is chosen and how it is written. I have had success by writing submissions in that certain 'slashdot style'. KL (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Tron Easter Egg
 
(...) Well, I didn't already own it. I don't recommend buying the 20th ann. edition if you already own it on DVD. There's only a couple deleted scenes, and the "making of" documentary is a big yawn. Excellent quality transfer from film, however. (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Tron Easter Egg
 
(...) I still am. I'm not sure whether to say, "oooh! cool!" or say, "dangit, I already _bought_ Tron on DVD once already!" -JDF (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Lord of the One Remote
 
(...) I don't have this problem. When I switch from TV to DVD, I gotta get up and walk over to put a DVD in the machine anyhow. So I just hit all the buttons while I'm there... -JDF [Now, if that Marantz 1200 has a robotic DVD changerator, I am _so_ (...) (23 years ago, 22-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Tron Easter Egg
 
(...) Lol. I was debating whether or not to get Tron on DVD. I think that decided it for me. :-) -Mike Petrucelli (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Tron Easter Egg
 
I was watching my Tron 20th anniversary DVD tonight and I noticed something. Immediately after Flynn, Tron, and Ram escape the light cycle grid, Sark yells "Get Them!" If you look at the screen next to Sark's face, you can see Pac Man and some (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jan-02, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  html/javascript question
 
If I have a website that uses javascript to format the navigation bars, page footers, etc and I want to rearrange the site into subdirectories(1); how do I set some sort of path to reach the javascripts to format the pages in the new subdirectories?

  Re: Worth looking at!
 
(...) Yeesh -- they still take up 50% of one CPU on my dual PIII 933 at home. There's totally got to be a better way to get that effect. (Speed of the connection has nothing to do with it, by the way. The image is less than 8k. (23 years ago, 17-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
